Median property values of $118,600-$123,100 run far below both the national median and Montana's own $467,919 statewide average -- among the most affordable markets in this project's Montana dataset.
Pro: a real, distinctive tribal-anchored economy
The Assiniboine and Sioux Tribal Industries (ASTI), cited as Montana's largest private employer, gives Wolf Point a real, substantial economic anchor most Montana small towns do not share.
Con: a real, disclosed school-performance concern
Wolf Point School District's cited 79% graduation rate and D- SchoolGrade represent a real, disclosed academic-performance concern this record does not soften.
Con: real, disclosed data-quality gaps
This record discloses several real, unresolved gaps and contradictions this pass surfaced -- crime data, homeownership-rate figures, and a missing local property-tax rate -- worth weighing directly against Wolf Point's genuine affordability advantage.
